Two black shoppers this week accused Barneys of detaining them after they made expensive purchases at the store in Manhattan. One of them has filed a discrimination lawsuit against Barneys, the city and its police department.

"Barneys New York has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination and we stand by our long history in support of all human rights," the luxury retailer said in a statement.

The detentions weren't done by the store, but by the NYC police outside the store. Barney's happily sold their merchandise to both people, since they had the color of money.
